’tis often I'm found at the end of the street

with dozens of dancers there at my feet.

I play them a tune to keep them all dancing,

skip step, or galley or high caper prancing.

​

They give not a jot for the poor musician.

A jig or the reel or an old composition?

The names change daily from hamlet to village

changed by the beer and some cider spillage.

​

So what do you do when they call for a tune?

Old Molly from Oxford? Roses in June?

They all sound the same to untrained ear-holes.

But it's got to be right for cultural souls.

​

Here, they're collected in jolly fine order!

The tops from South Wales and over the border.

They sound great with Morris, some are just nice,

great for musicians in need of advice.
